Ana Kasparian is a political commentator, journalist, and co-host of The Young Turks.

When we talk with normal people about politics, we usually have more common ground than disagreement. So how have public politics become so polarised? Why does it feel so tribal? And is it really that unreasonable to hold beliefs from both sides?

Expect to learn why Ana went independent and unaligned herself from the Democratic party, the issues Ana has with the political Left, why the Left are scared of speaking up against policies they don’t agree with, why people go from left to right but not the other way around and much more…
